First day back at work after a wonderful vacation...I was definitely not going to feel like cooking. So, I planned ahead and left a hearty soup in the crock pot. The house smelled unbelievable when I walked in the door, and the soup was tasty.
Crock Pot Mung Bean Soup
1/2 lb dried mung beans
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb pork roast, cubed
1 medium tomato, chopped
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 lb collard greens
5 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1. Soak the mung beans overnight in a medium sized bowl; use enough water to cover plus two inches.
2. Drain mung beans and rinse in warm water. Add all ingredients to crock pot; add enough water to cover.
3. Cook on low heat for twelve hours or on high heat for 6-7 hours.
4. Yields 10, 3 point servings

I like mung beans (especially in Moon Cake!). This recipe sounds soooo good, too.
ReplyDeleteI've actually never cooked with mung beans before, but I love crock pot soups! Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletePlease, please, please try this soup. It is one of my all-time---seriously---all-time favorite soups. Great hot AND cold.--(Stone, the best friend)
